Weʼre raising £500 to promote British historic Navy aircraft to inspire the engineers and scientists of tomorrow

Crowdfunding is a new type of fundraising where you can raise funds for your own personal cause, even if you're not a registered nonprofit.

The page owner is responsible for the distribution of funds raised.

Story

This is me. With one of the historic aircraft I am passionate about preserving. I'm even more passionate about using the aircraft to enthuse kids about Science, Tech, Engineering and Maths (STEM). (I already know a 12 year old girl who now wants to be an engineer!)

The stories about these old Warbirds abound, and HEROISM is a major theme - and an easy hook to lead young people to engage with engineering and science.

Talking of HEROISM, I am TERRIFIED of heights. So... if I reach £500 I will jump out of a perfectly serviceable aeroplane and free fall (screaming) strapped to an Army parachute instructor. What's not to like?

Please help. Any little amount, anonymously given, will help ensure I have a sleepless night.

Thank you!

Good luck Laila. I did a parachute jump once. Scared the life out of me. Hope that helps.
